Matinee and night.
"The Heart of Maryland."
Though the weather was miserable,
nn audience that crowded the Lyceum
to the doors saw "Ths Heart of Mary
land" presented at the Lyceum last
nlaht. This stirring drama by Belasco
seems to increase in popularity and
drawing power with each presenta
tion. Tho way !n which It was re
ceived Inst night left no doubt as to
the kind of an impression that it made
on the audience.
The company was most creditable
throughout, the leading roles being
sustained by Herbert Bostwick, Frank
A. Conner, Frederick G. Lewis, Walter
Belasco, Regan Hughston, Mable How
ard, Anna O'Ryan and Louise Ken
more. Mary Manueiing-.
Carl Ahrendt, a German actor, who
has many years' experience on the
American stage, plays the part of
Colonel Raid, the Hessian commander
ut Trenton, in support of Mary Man
nerlng in her new revolutionary play.
"Janice Meredith," which comes to
the Lyceum theatre tonight. Mr. Ah
rendt came to this country about
eighteen years ago. He had had many
years' experience on the German stage.
He spoke English indifferently and
was cast for character parts In which
his imperfect English made him par
ticularly Interesting.
Today he speaks the English lan
guage as well as any actor on the
stage, with n slight German accent.
This and his pronounced German per
sonality makes him an ideal In the
part ot Colonel Rahl. In stuglng
"Janice Meredith," Frank McKee
made a special effort to select artists
exactly suited to every part. The re
sult of this care with "Janice Mere
dith" is one of the best cast plays that
lias been seen the present season.
"A Poor Relation."
In Sol Smith Russell's long career
he never produced u better or more
successful play than his famous come
dy. "A Poor Relation," nnd It was a
matter of -jreat regret when his health
forbade his appearing for some time to
come.
It was fortunate, however, that Mr.
(tussell was able to secure In Mr.
Kecnnn mi actor so capable of main
taining the traditions of tho delightful
character of Noah Vnle. Mr. Keenun
will nppear In the part that made Mr,
Russell famous, and Judging from the
unbounded praise of both press and
public, Mr, Keenun Is evidently mak
ing himself famous, too. The St. Louis
Republic, In writing of Mr, Keenun,
says: "There is no apparent effort on
the comedian's part to touch the
hearts of his audience, There Is no
striving after effect. But In many ot
his scenes tears conic to the eyes of
the nudlenco almost before tho sinllo
has left their lips,"
lu the supporting company we find
such names as George 11, Miller,
Georgo It, Hprague, Marius Morlurity,
John Cumberland, Misses Vota Hen
derson, Kntlieiin Doollng, Kato Long,
Fanny Barry Sprngue, and others,
Special scenery, costumes, stage sel
lings In fact, everything Is carried by
tho company to Insure n production
correct and adequate In every detail.
Will Ie ut the Lyceum Friday night,
"Undo Tom's Cabin,"
Stetson's big production or "1'iicle
Tom's Cabin" will appear nt tho Ly
ceum on Saturday afternoon and night.
It has been organized this season in a
manner that will make it far superior
to any previous production ever seen
bore. Misses Kitty Morgan and Bcrtliit,
Crosblo are the two Topsles; Messrs,
George Harris and Nick Gllnu are the
two Marks, and Stetson's original
"Uncle Tom," Mr. Fred Bennett, will
also be lu the cast.
Leon Washburn, the manager of this
company, lias, however, succeeded in
organizing a cast composed of specially
selected players, chosen for their adapt
ability for tho parts assigned them.and
hns received ills reward in tho gener
ous patronage of the public und piMlses
from tlio press. A street parade will
bo given that is said to delight every
Juvenile spectator 'beyond measure.
